Woven Roving

Woven roving is a reinforcement made from direct, texturized fiberglass roving woven into a fabric or a tape. Typically, the glass fibre content is a suitable sizing for multiple resin systems such as unsaturated polyester and epoxy resins; Great for multilayer hand layup applications, woven roving fabrics provide the most economical solution for raising glass content of laminates and increasing overall laminate flexural and impact resistance without adding thickness, weight, or other non-reinforcing materials.

Methods of Use & Processes

  • Hand lay-up
  • Pre pregging
  • Compression molding
  • Winding
  • Scrimp
  • Centrifugal casting
  • Pultrusion
  • Vacuum molding
  • RTM

Description

  • The input rovings are designed to give controlled wet-out and excellent laminate properties.
  • The construction gives bi directional (0°/90°) reinforcement and the strength of continuous filaments.
  • Woven roving can be of different GSM starting from 200 – 2400.
  • Woven roving fabrics are designed to be compatible with multiple resin systems and can be customized to meet specific product requirements
  • Assorted weave patterns and preferential fiber loading.
